I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Apparently it's a miracle that I survived my twelve years of public school bake sales.

Or eating anywhere besides your family's home.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure no one's home is a sterile environment. Except John Travolta when he was the boy in the bubble.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I am trying very hard not to lose my shit. I go through all the trouble of planning out meals, putting together a shopping list etc. I made pizza on Sunday instead of our Saturday night, make-together fun meal because Jon had to work. I made soup last night because we had pizza when I was supposed to make soup and Jon forgot to put out the Italian sausage to thaw. Guess who forgot again today, which means I make the pasta tomorrow instead of having a frozen dinner to celebrate the middle of the week and maybe go have a drink? So now I'll do the drink tonight with frozen dinner or leftover pizza, cook tomorrow and Thursday (Thursday was supposed to be his day to make whatever).

Please remind me these are just wrinkles.

Oh, and yeah agreed that's crazy, unless your kid had allergies, but then wouldn't you be super vigilant anyway?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It's just...the reason I set everything up the way I did was because I knew I'd be tired of cooking by tomorrow. Not tired of it yet, and now I'm afraid of losing the momentum.

I know it's kind of a tough it up and deal kind of problem, but this is how I was tricking myself into cooking a bunch.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

How on EARTH is that nesting??? I nearly fell to my death trying to buy an imaginary sofa! And we have a perfectly nice sofa!

Apparently, your nesting involves building an actual nest.

If you are female and HAVE EVERY HAD A PENIS IN YOU you should be in Just In Case mode at all times.

Well. Only if you did it, you know, the-- what's that word I'm looking for? The other way.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So they are trying to combat childhood obesity by making bake sale good no longer desirable? I guess that works. And next I suppose you'll no longer be able to have a Sees Candy fundraiser, you can only sell Whitman Samplers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The goal is to combat childhood obesity.

That's insanity. How many homemade baked goods contain HFCS as their second ingredient?

I do know many classrooms have banned homemade goods from snacktime because of allergy concerns, but at a bake sale? Isn't baking kind of the point?
